| TIRES - VALVE | |||
| 05/21/2005 | 560 | 2 | 01/22/2005 |
| I have had ongoing problems with low tire pressure. last week the right front tire inexplicably went flat. the flat was replaced with a brand new continental tire. a day after that replacement, i checked the pressure. the valve on the tire was defective .. i would not have noticed it until i removed the cap to check the pressure and heard air escaping. the other tire on the left front also has a problem maintaining air pressure. i told the dealer to check the tire and the dealer says there is nothing wrong. this can't be since the tire lost pressure only after placing air in it a day or so prior. this car is only 5 months old. yet. i have had to place air in the front tires before i go anywhere. it is now at a point where i have to check the tire pressure before using the car. i drove a mercedes for 13 years and never had one problem with the tires. before that a toyota for 5 years and again never had a problem with a tire spontaneously losing pressure. this is the 2nd x type i have had. i had a similar problem with the right rear tire on that vehicle. at that time i was told it was a nail hole. yet, n after that alleged hole was repaired i had ongoing problems with low tire pressure. i wrote it off as a service problem. had i realized that this tire problem was more than an isolated incident on one vehicle li would have never had leased this vehicle again. when i reviewed this website as to complaints i was shocked to see almost 15 complaints since 2002 of tires deflating and blowouts. this problem must be investigated before there is a serious fatality. | |||

| On several occasions my car has suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated - a very scary experience. the dealer told me they had had other reports, and that it was able to be fixed - however it has not been fixed. the most recent incident (below) happened when i was going uphill and had eased off on the accelerator because traffic in front of me was slowing down. instead, the car responded as though i had put my foot to the floor. *tr | |||

| I will start by saying that i love my jaguar. it is the best car i have ever had, with one exception. this is now the fifth incident of cracking rims (size 7.5x180 et52.5) on my 2005 jaguar x-type (equipped with the sport premium package). i went out to put the garbage out on sunday, 20may12, when i noticed the front driver's tire was low. i checked the pressure, and the guage showed 0. that night i put in 40 psi of air. the following day i checked it again, and the guage showed 20 psi. it is important to state the vehicle had not been used since 19may12 to that point. i jacked up the car, and pulled the wheel off the car. after spraying with soapy water on the inside rim by the sidewall, i found it was bubbling. i put the spare on the car. later i switched the spare so it could be on the driver's rear (so it would not be on a wheel thet steers). on a whim, i checked the wheel that was on the driver's rear side and found it was cracked as well. i sprayed soapy water and found it was not bubbling. i called the local jaguar dealer, who stated they have not had issues with their rims, and no recall has been issued for them. i find the cracking rims to be a huge safety issue. my wife and i have spent approximately $600 on wheel repairs. every factory original wheel on the car has been cracked; some more than once. we have also spent a lot of money on new tires because the rims were cracked and destroyed some of the tires' sidewalls. the most recent cracks were docummented via photos from my iphone. i have heard of other people having issued with their jaguar rims, yet i have not seen a recall on this item. it really should be. this is the car we take our four-year-old to daycare. we also use the car for family outtings and shopping. | |||
